What is two-factor authentication?
Think of it as an extra layer of security for your Apple ID.
Here's how it works.
By requiring a six-digit verification code
in addition to your password,
two-factor authentication keeps your account secure,
even if somebody gets ahold of your password.
When signing in to your Apple ID on a new device,
you'll need to verify it's really you.
Just tap Allow, and enter the six-digit verification code
shown on your trusted devices.
You only have to do this once per device,
and you'll be good to go!
